Table 2. Accuracy metrics of automated assessment models classifying reptile species into IUCN extinction risk categories, under 2 different approaches: (1) complete model, accounting for spatial and phylogenetic autocorrelation and assessor/reviewer effects; (2) accounting for spatial and phylogenetic autocorrelation (this was the model used for predictions).

“Binary” represents the separation of threatened (CR, EN, and VU) from nonthreatened categories (NT and LC). Remaining columns represent the predictive accuracy for assigning species to the 5 extinction risk categories: CR, Critically Endangered; EN, Endangered; LC, Least Concern; NT, Near Threatened; VU, Vulnerable. See S1 Table for remaining models.
